it must be spring, I'm brewing iced tea.

Walking through the dark living room last night, I felt something touch my leg, like a small hand, grabbing at me.
Thankfully, I had previously noted Boomer sleeping on the floor, and so did not jump, yelp, or otherwise terrify him. Took a half-hour off my life, though.

And today, he has developed a new purr -- very tribble-sounding. Weird cat....

Meanwhile, it's been an exciting day -- another chunk of "Dreamcatcher" written, some household stuff taken care of, and a host of contracts and agreements sent off to allow me to continue living this carefree freelance lifestyle (hah). Also made various hotel and plane arrangements for the Spring/Summer convention schedule. Eeeep. How did it get to be that time, already?

Ah, the glamour, the glory, the mind- and ass-numbing tedium. At this point, I'd almost welcome the distraction of a cover conference meeting, just for the name-calling and popcorn-throwing (okay, that's a lie. We never threw popcorn. Unless it was stale. And unless it was at Ray [our art director]).

I just realized we're out of diet coke. Horrors! Maybe I should dial back from the caffeine tonight..... naaaaaah.

I have a pitcher of iced tea, so I'm not going to go into withdrawal overnight. But by tomorrow afternoon things might become dire...

Giving up caffeine is not allowed.

Giving up? Never! But dial back...maybe. I was having flashbacks to certain weeks in editorial when I actually started to vibrate from caffeine overload...

Boomer is just trying to get you to shift into Mystery/Thriller/Suspense writing is all...

And unless we were drunk. Luckily, that happened a lot.
